I built the platform for my 06 F150 and 90's Grandby out of 2x4's that I ripped down to about 2 3/4". Then I used one sheet of 5/8 plywood. Initially I thought about creating some storage space between the bed and the camper floor but decided to keep the space between the roof of the truck and...

Have you looked at the camper fit guide on the FWC website? It's been a while since I have looked at it but it did have some good guidence.

My 89/90 Grandby will only fit up to an 07 Chevrolet since the width at the opening for the tailgate is just shy of 60 inches. If I remember correctly after 07 they made the opening just a few inches smaller which would require an inches or two fix. Even though I wanted to keep a Chevrolet I...

I have actually thought using a Jeep Traditional Bikini top for a rear awning. I had more then a few CJ's in past years and I don't know why they wouldn't work. Although it wouldn't cover the entire rear it would get most of it. As far as its ability to hold up, they last for years even at...

It does take up a little space but the southern east coast humidity instantly becomes much more manageable. I...

Please keep us posted on your progress and keep the pictures coming. I too am in the beginning of a renovation stage for my 89 Grandby. New sideliner, interior makeover and new aluminum siding.

I considered the same thing you are for my 89 Grandby but in the decided to hold off on any additional holes until I do the rebuild this winter. For the cable I bought a "holland electronics flat coaxial type f jumper" which works great. I cant seem to see a place to add a picture but they have...

I am guilty of a 1989 Grandby on a 1500 Silverado with the 6-1/2 foot bed. I didn't have any handling issues and it just hangs over approximately 18 inches from the back of the bed-box. I was a little concerned about the floor possibly separating at the seem where you go through the door so I...

I appreciate the help. Thank you!

Sorry to beat a old topic to death but------- As you can see, I am a newbie here but I am excited about bringing my FWC as close to perfect as I can. I have a 1989 Grandby (Thanks for identifying my year and model Stan) that I am either considering replacing the vinyl all together or merely...

Virginia Beach, VA. 1989 Grandby that sits in a 2004 Silverado 1500 Z71. I haven't been west of the Mississippi with it yet (keyword-yet) but it certainly has been all over east of the Mississippi with the bass boat in tow.
